Natural Calcium Source – Ideal for Kidney Insufficiency
Eggshell powder is a natural source of calcium, making it an excellent supplement for your dog or cat's BARF diet. Particularly for animals with kidney insufficiency, eggshells are an ideal choice due to their high calcium content and very low phosphorus content. Calcium is essential for bone metabolism, healthy teeth, and muscle function. If your pet is getting only a few bones or none at all, , calcium supplementation is essential.
100% Natural & Salmonella-Free
Our eggshell powder contains no artificial additives and is particularly easy to digest due to its finely ground form. In addition to its high calcium content, it provides other important minerals like magnesium, potassium, sodium, iron, copper, and zinc. Eggshell powder can be used as a bone replacement for dogs and cats. Due to its high calcium content and simultaneously low phosphorus content, eggshells are an ideal calcium source in the case of kidney problems. However, for healthy animals, bones should not be entirely replaced by eggshells, as this could lead to a long-term phosphorus deficiency. In such cases, our bone meal may be a better choice.

Feeding recommendation
Feeding Recommendation per Day:
50 - 100 mg per kg body weight
Attention: Dogs and cats fed with a kidney diet food should be under regular veterinary supervision. Long-term use may lead to phosphorus deficiency due to excessive calcium intake. This deficiency can cause symptoms similar to chronic kidney failure. Therefore, please do not feed the kidney diet and eggshell powder for longer than six months consecutively, and consult your veterinarian for a check-up no later than that. Feeding with kidney-specific food should generally only be initiated upon the advice of a veterinarian following a prior diagnosis and assessment of the severity of the disease.
For a varied diet with soft and hard bones, it is not advisable to supplement eggshell powder for healthy dogs and cats. If your pet does not eat bones or cannot tolerate them, you should supplement the missing calcium with bone meal. Bone meal has an ideal calcium-phosphorus ratio and is the most natural alternative to feeding bones.
